A. The 696800-KM7 is a KM7 locknut socket designed for the safe, accurate installation and removal of KM locknuts — specialised precision nuts used to secure bearings and other critical components on shafts, including tapered journals, adapter sleeves, and withdrawal sleeves.
A. KM locknuts feature slots around their circumference, which means a standard socket or spanner cannot engage the nut properly. Attempting to use improvised tools risks slippage, rounding, or distortion of the nut and the component it secures. The KM7 socket is purpose-built to engage directly with these slots and distribute torque evenly.
A. The 696800-KM7 uses a 1/2" square drive, allowing it to be used with standard ratchets and torque wrenches.
A. The socket measures 55 x 55 x 40 mm and weighs 0.364 kg. The KM7 specification table confirms dimensions of: Ø A 36 mm, Ø B 49 mm, Ø C 54 mm, with an M dimension of 40 mm.
A. Yes. The socket demands less space around the bearing arrangement than when using a hook spanner, and its 1/2" drive allows the use of ratchets and torque wrenches in confined locations.
A. Yes. The reach of the KM7 socket can be extended using the 696800-KM7EXT Extension Tube, which is available as a separate accessory.
